While You Mengchu and Xue Ke were watching the opera together, Shen Hanyu and the Snow Empress were not idle either. The two had been observing the situation from a space not far away.
The two of them had a general understanding of the strength of all the girls, and they also had a good grasp of the strength of the seven guardian Douluo of the Sea God Island's Seven Sacred Pillars. This fifth test would be somewhat troublesome for the girls, but it would only stop at the level of "somewhat troublesome."
In Shen Hanyu's mind, the truly difficult one should be the upcoming Sea God Sixth Test.
After receiving the Sea God's blessing, Bo Saixi's strength had been elevated by another level. Even Shen Hanyu had to admit this reality. When borrowing the Sea God's divine power or even the power of the ocean, Bo Saixi's strength absolutely surpassed the Limit Douluo level. Whether she had stepped into the god level or not was a rather vague concept, and no one could give an accurate answer.
But Shen Hanyu could be certain that Bo Saixi's current strength, excluding himself, was absolutely the undisputed number one in the Douluo plane. This point was something even powerhouses like the Snow Empress could not compare to.
For some reason, Shen Hanyu suddenly turned his head to look at the Snow Empress beside him. Then, he said softly:
"Xue'er, if you were to encounter the former Slaughter King Tang Chen, approximately what are your chances of winning?"
The Snow Empress looked at Shen Hanyu with some surprise, then slightly lowered her beautiful eyes and pondered for a moment before saying:
"If I'm being honest, the chances of winning should be between sixty to seventy percent..."
"Although Tang Chen was parasitized by the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King at that time and could not exert his full strength, his own soul power cultivation had already reached the extreme, and he even possessed a true half-god body. When he wielded the Asura Demon Sword, my chances of winning could only reach this level at most..."
"After sacrificing myself to you back then, I obtained this current human body through the God Trial, but I have never fought with full strength. Even though later on, through the God Trial, I gradually fully controlled this body and continuously elevated it to higher levels, I am still a soul beast after all, and the influence of the human body on me remains..."
"According to what you said before, if it were in the Extreme North, my strength would be the undisputed quasi-god level. Even when borrowing the power of the heavens and earth of the Extreme North, my strength could approach the level where Bo Saixi is now. However, when leaving the Extreme North, my strength can indeed only reach the Limit Douluo half-god level, still a bit short of the quasi-god realm. But if the Ice God's divine weapon is fully repaired, my strength will usher in a breakthrough..."
Everything the Snow Empress said coincided with Shen Hanyu's thoughts. Before the sacrifice, the Snow Empress's cultivation was sixty-nine thousand years, approaching seventy thousand years. Converted to human soul masters' combat power, it was indeed at the Limit Douluo level.
However, none of this mattered now. The biggest obstacle standing in front of the Snow Empress was her identity as a soul beast, which was an unavoidable point.
Gu Yuena, along with Bi Ji and the others, had been traveling across the continent and had also taken away the damaged Ice God divine weapon. Just as she had said, repairing a top-tier first-level divine weapon in the Douluo plane was an extremely difficult task. Afterward, she would also need to single-handedly block the heavenly tribulation. Shen Hanyu was willing to believe in Gu Yuena at that time, but now, calculating the time, this process was still a bit too slow...
Thinking of this, Shen Hanyu took out the silver-white dragon scale from his soul tool. He then injected a trace of his soul power into it. Soon after, the entire dragon scale emitted a faint white light, as if it had received a response.
Shen Hanyu slightly furrowed his brows. The Snow Empress noticed his abnormality and asked softly:
"What's wrong?"
Shen Hanyu shook his head slightly, then his gaze looked into the distance as he said:
"Gu Yuena and the three of them are now on the sea. However, according to her, that place seems to have already left the range of the Douluo Continent and entered another completely different continent."
Upon hearing this, the Snow Empress couldn't help but slightly furrow her brows and said:
"Another completely different continent..."
"Why would the three of them run to such a place? This doesn't seem like their style..."
The dragon scale in Shen Hanyu's hand was still continuously emitting light. After a moment, Shen Hanyu said softly:
"She discovered materials needed to repair the divine weapon on that continent. Additionally, she told me that she seems to have found the inheritance of a deity there..."
"Deity inheritance..."
The Snow Empress was slightly stunned, seemingly not expecting such a coincidence.
Regarding this, Shen Hanyu merely smiled slightly, showing no sign of surprise.
"Gu Yuena's former strength was at least at the half-step God King peak. Even though her current strength is suppressed by the plane and her own condition, allowing her to only exert power stronger than a Limit Douluo, Xue'er, don't forget that she was once a god. She knows far beyond us regarding many things. Correspondingly, she is actually more likely to detect those hidden inheritances..."
The Snow Empress nodded, then asked softly again:
"Then what about us? Do we still need to wait a while longer?"
Shen Hanyu nodded somewhat helplessly, then his gaze turned toward the several girls who had already thrown themselves into the next challenge, and he said:
"Let's wait. At most one more month, and we should also set sail for the Sun Moon Continent... There are many wonderful things over there, and I think they won't disappoint us at that time..."
The Snow Empress opened her mouth, but in the end said nothing, and could only silently nod in agreement.
...
The view crossed the endless sea and arrived at another continent.
At this moment, beneath a river estuary, the turbulent and intertwined water currents made the environment here extremely harsh. Various powerful predatory soul beasts wandered here, waiting for an opportunity to search for their targets.
And beneath these dangerous currents lay a barrier emitting a faint white light.
The figures of Gu Yuena and the other three were clearly visible. After a long time without appearing, when they reappeared, they had surprisingly already arrived at the Sun Moon Continent, which was tens of thousands of miles away.
At this time, Bi Ji and Zi Ji stood behind Gu Yuena. The two glanced at each other, but neither spoke.
Gu Yuena's hands continued moving without pause. A strange liquid metal was refined by her from the massive ore below and then slowly fused into the Ice God's divine weapon.
The Ice God Sword trembled slightly. The originally damaged sword body had now been repaired in seven or eight parts. The blade had also regained its luster. The entire ice-blue longsword seemed to have regained life once more, though this newly born life was still very fragile, giving the illusion that it could be extinguished again at any moment.
A fine layer of sweat appeared on Gu Yuena's forehead. Repairing a divine weapon in the Douluo plane was not a simple task. Even for her, it required consuming a large amount of resources and time to possibly complete it.
In order to repair the special materials for the Ice God Sword, the three of them had previously traveled almost the entire continent. In desperation, they had come to the sea to search, only to unexpectedly discover their ultimate target on another continent.
After finishing everything at hand, Gu Yuena finally let out a light sigh of relief. She then put away the now calm Ice God Sword and reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
Bi Ji stepped forward gently and said softly:
"My Lord, how is the situation?"
Gu Yuena sighed softly and said:
"The Douluo plane has too little divine material. It is simply impossible to fully repair such a top-tier divine weapon in a short time. Many things involved here are related to the God Realm. With my current state, I can only reach this level at most. For the rest, I am powerless..."
Bi Ji was slightly stunned, then said softly:
"My Lord, you have already done your best. I believe they will all understand..."
Gu Yuena sneered and said:
"That guy Shen Hanyu is too cunning, but I can only do what I can for this matter. The repair of the Ice God Sword can be considered sixty percent complete. Afterward, let them nurture it properly with soul power for a while, and it should at least recover to seventy percent. The rest will require even more powerful forces..."
Bi Ji smiled helplessly and said nothing more.
Zi Ji stood to the side and yawned, then said softly:
"Then, My Lord, shall we return to the Douluo Continent immediately or continue to stay on this new continent to explore..."
Gu Yuena glanced at Zi Ji and said:
"Let's continue to stay on this continent. I can sense that there are many things on this continent that are not present on the Douluo Continent. These are worth us taking a look at. Additionally, I just exchanged messages with that guy. At most, in another month, they will also set off for this continent. There is no point in us going back now..."
A glint flashed in Zi Ji's eyes as she wondered what she was thinking, but Gu Yuena was too lazy to guess. Looking at the violent water currents surging overhead, Gu Yuena said softly:
"Let's leave here first."
Bi Ji and Zi Ji nodded together. Then, a crack slowly appeared at the edge of the barrier. Gu Yuena's figure walked into it first, and Bi Ji and the others followed closely behind. The silver barrier instantly disappeared after the three figures left. The turbid water currents immediately invaded this small space, and the silt quickly buried the exposed ore below once more, waiting for future discoverers.
...
The view returned once again to Sea God Island.
After two exhilarating battles, the girls had successively passed the assessments of Sea Horse, Sea Spear, and Sea Phantom, the three Title Douluo. After a brief rest and recovery of soul power, the one facing the girls this time was Sea Ghost Douluo.
Violent collisions are continuously assaulted from above. The sea waves surged, and terrifying soul power fluctuations spread out in all directions. At a certain moment, Sea Ghost Douluo suddenly erupted. The soul power around him instantly sent White Nian and Dugu Yan, who were attempting to sneak attack from behind, flying. He turned around and met Shen Liu Yu and Shui Bing'er, who were enhanced by Xue Wu's soul skill.
The others, whose soul power cultivation had not yet reached the level where they could engage Sea Ghost Douluo in close combat, were releasing soul skills from the periphery to constantly interfere with Sea Ghost's judgment and movements.
Behind Shui Bing'er, her dual wings fluttered. Countless huge ice crystals condensed from above. With a flick of her finger, they shot toward Sea Ghost Douluo in perfect formation at high speed.
Behind Sea Ghost Douluo, the emerald-green Bi Lin Snake Emperor poison and the death qi from White Nian that could devour life force had also locked onto the target. Shen Liu Yu rubbed her fists together. In the darkness behind her, a giant beast had already opened its blood-red eyes. Its body, covered in ferocious armor, loomed in and out of view. Dark clouds gathered above, and thunder continuously flashed. For a moment, Sea Ghost Douluo seemed to have fallen completely into a hopeless situation.
Under such circumstances, Sea Ghost Douluo's eyes showed a grave expression. The nine soul rings beneath his feet rotated rapidly. A massive phantom of a sea ghost fish leaped up from the inner sea below. Then, his eighth black soul ring was instantly lit up. Immediately after, the soul power around him was rapidly squeezed out. For a moment, even the space around him seemed to tremble along with it.
"Eighth Soul Skill! Phantom Demon Heart-Piercing Thorn!"
Sea Ghost Douluo roared. Beneath the mask covering his face, a hint of ferocity could vaguely be seen. This strike, like Sea Horse Douluo before him, had already used all his strength, but the final result was still unsatisfactory.
After Shen Liu Yu broke through to Soul Douluo, her control over space had risen to another level. Especially with the eye soul bone she possessed, her extreme spiritual control combined with her spatial attribute martial soul meant that ordinary Title Douluo's attacks would be directly teleported away or sent into the void before they could even approach them. This move was almost impossible for a Sea Ghost Douluo with only ninety-three levels of soul power to break. Similarly, this also sealed his defeat.
After defeating Sea Ghost Douluo, the only ones left standing in front of the girls were Sea Star, Sea Woman, and Sea Dragon, the three Title Douluo.
The soul power levels of these three were all between ninety-four and ninety-five. However, their areas of expertise were completely different. Sea Star Douluo's soul skills were ever-changing. His martial soul, the Sea Star, possessed powerful self-healing and even devouring abilities. His own soul power level was extremely close to ninety-five, making him an extremely difficult opponent.
As for Sea Woman Douluo, her specialty lay in the aspect of spiritual power. Sea Woman Douluo herself was a half-human, half-soul beast, belonging to the mermaid clan. Her race had a long lifespan, and she was also the only female among the Seven Sacred Pillars guardians. She was an extremely special opponent.
As for the final Sea Dragon Douluo, there was nothing much to say. Sea Dragon Douluo's martial soul was the Sea Dragon, whose quality was not inferior to top true dragon martial souls like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Moreover, Sea Dragon Douluo had passed the black-level sixth test in his early years. He was now a ninety-five-level Super Douluo and the next Great Enshrinement of Sea God Island. His strength was absolutely one of the most powerful opponents the girls had faced so far.
Watching the girls begin to sit cross-legged and meditate to recover their soul power, Shen Hanyu and the Snow Empress did not linger any longer and headed straight toward the Sea God Temple.
At the same time, inside the Sea God Temple, Bo Saixi and Tang Chen almost simultaneously opened their eyes. The two exchanged a glance and roughly understood the purpose of Shen Hanyu and the other's visit.
After Tang Chen took the little one in the baby carriage downstairs, the figures of Shen Hanyu and the Snow Empress appeared directly in the hall.
Bo Saixi sighed softly and said:
"I know your purpose. Please sit. I will explain to you some of the reasons behind the Sea God Sixth Test. Of course, everything I am about to say is not my own intention. I hope you understand..."
